Les terroirs viticoles ont une histoire

Abstract

L’historien repart d’une définition scientifique, rigoureuse et récente du terroir viticole. “Un terroir viticole est composé de plusieurs unités homogènes : éléments géologiques et pédologiques (texture, granulométrie, épaisseur, nature minéralogique, composants chimiques), géomorphologiques (altitude, pente, exposition), climatologiques (pluviométrie, température, insolation)”. Absent de cette définition, l’homme est heureusement réintroduit un peu plus loin. En associant la viticulture et la vinification, il forme un “couple” avec le terroir et ce couple. L’historien se propose de réexaminer les relations de ce tout au long de deux millénaires d’histoire. Il veut montrer que le choix de localisation des vignes, celui des cépages et celui des techniques de viticulture ne furent pas ou peu guidés, jusqu’à une période récente, par des qualités ou des virtualités objectivement reconnues à des terroirs précis. Des contraintes et des motivations extérieures au milieu physique ont été beaucoup plus déterminantes. Elles furent économiques, tout particulièrement commerciales, mais aussi politiques, juridiques, sociales, voire culturelles.

Quantification of polysaccharides of variety Pomaces of the D.O.Ca Rioja

Pomace is one of the main residues generated by the wine industry and represents an environmental problem. Currently, there is a growing interest in the revaluation of these products because different bioactive compounds can be obtained from them, such as polyphenols, grape seed oils and polysaccharides. Red grape pomace can be an important source of polysaccharides, but they are currently little studied and even less with viable and environmental extraction processes (green extraction), such as flash extraction. The residual amount of the fraction rich in pectin (residual pulp) and component rich in hemicellulose in the pomace and the strength of association of the pectin with the cellulose-xyloglucan network depend on the degree of extractability of the polysaccharides in red winemaking and on the winemaking conditions.

PyExpress – A pipeline for fast and reliable UAV image processing in vineyards

Increasing drought poses a challenge to viticulture, with complex impacts on grape yield and quality. The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) in Precision Viticulture offers a valuable tool to detect drought stress, capturing its spatio-temporal variability and thus, supports management strategies.

Hidden costs of wine: quantifying environmental externalities of organic and integrated management

Agriculture is one of the largest contributors to environmental pollution and causing significant impacts on human health, ecosystems, and resource availability.

Perceptions of livestock integration in South African vineyards

Context and purpose of the study. Conventional viticulture relies heavily on synthetic inputs (fertilizers, pesticides), as well as mechanization to manage pests, weeds, and diseases and maximize yields.

UHPLC-HRMS analysis for the evaluation of formation and degradation of polysulfides in wine 

The contribution of sulfur compounds to wine aroma has been studied for several years, as their role can be either positive, contributing to the fruitiness and typicity of some white wines like Sauvignon blanc, or negative when related to off-flavours caused by H2S.
